You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

$\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}$ is larger

Explanation:

$pK_{a}=-logK_{a}$ , where $K_{a}$ is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, $K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]}$ and $\frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}$

So, clearly, higher the $K_{a}$ value , lower will the the $pK_{a}$

In this mixture, at equilibrium, $[H^{+}]$ will be constant.

$K_{a}$ of HF is grater than $K_{a}$ of HCN

Hence, $(\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})$

So, $\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]}$ is larger

Bronze is an alloy made of mostly copper (Cu) and tin (Sn). What type of bond forms bronze?

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A. Metallic bond

Explanation:

Think about it: copper and tin are both common metals. That's how we know it's a metallic bond!

Why not B: Covalent bonds are between two nonmetals.

Why not C: Ionic bonds are between a nonmetal and a metal.

Why not D: Paired bond isn't a common phrase in chemistry.

200.00 grams of an organic compound is known to contain 83.884 grams of carbon, 10.486

ololo11 [35]

The empirical formula of a given compound is C6H9ON5.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Step 1: Obtain the mass of each element present in grams

Element % = mass in g = m

Carbon = 83.884 grams, Hydrogen = 10.486 grams, Oxygen = 18.640 grams, Nitrogen = 86.99 grams.

Step 2: Determine the number of moles of each type of atom present

m/atomic mass = Molar amount (M)

Molar amount of carbon = (83.884 1 mol ) / 12 g = 6.99

Molar amount of hydrogen = (10.486 1 mol) / 1 g = 10.49

Molar amount of oxygen = (18.64 1 mol) / 16 g = 1.17

Molar amount of nitrogen = (86.99 1 mol) / 14 g = 6.21

Step 3: Divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles

M / least M value = Atomic Ratio (R)

Atomic radius of carbon = 6.99 / 1.17 = 5.9 = 6

Atomic radius of hydrogen = 10.49 / 1.17 = 8.9 = 9

Atomic radius of oxygen = 1.17 / 1.17 = 1

Atomic radius of nitrogen = 6.21 / 1.17 = 5

Step 4: Convert numbers to whole numbers. This set of whole numbers are the subscripts in the empirical formula.

R * whole number = Empirical Formula

The empirical formula of a given compound is C6H9ON5.
